    So, this is just a map a made mainly to prove to my friend that I could make a cave map. So, it turned out OK, and it works pretty well for 1v1. so here it is.

    unfortunately, Theater mode would not let me go high enough to get an overview shot, so i just made a 1-minute "overview" shot of the map, just you you knew the layout.

    The middle circle is a pit of DOOOOOM, so if you fall down, you go beneath the grid.

    Now here are some real shots of the map:

    Weapon's list:

    BR X 2
    Carbine X 2
    Plasma Pistol X 2
    AR X 2
    Mauler X 1
    Sniper X 1


    I believe that all the weapons are MLG, but i didnt really mean to do that :p

    A cave map in skybox? I don't think anyone has done that yet. Nice forging but the pictures aren't that great so no download.

    The map looks really cool, but based on the pictures, it looks like it would be extremely difficult to play on.

    Your one-minute sketch of the map makes it look like a middle room with two halls, but the actual screenshot makes it look larger. Which one do I beliiiiieve?

    Actually, I built and posted one first, the layout of this map looks almost exactly like mine. Look in Competitive maps for Crystal Cave.

    Anyway, looks good overall, though the death pit looks very sloppy. Also, I hate to say it's not very original, as my cave map has almost the exact same layout.

    I just saw silver cave on x forgery...and.....ya.
    Elite-I've seen your work before, but I never knew that you were building caves.
    Originally I was going to build Fissure up in the skybox, with the bottom of the chasm as the similar deathpit, but ended up with the crypt and a stream instead. Regardless for the remake, I give you both props for building cave maps. People say it's unoriginal, but what is these days? No cakewalk that's for sure.

    Looks cool ill DL, sorry but i gotta go in forge and take off that damn filter though it distracts the hell outta me. After i go and check it ill comment with more of a review.

    K i just checked it out and its rather on the small side, even 1v1 might be pushing it on this map, another thing is that there are almost no spawn points i think i counted like 10 which on a map that small you obviously dont need alot but it would really promote camping. overall with athestics i give it a 3/5

    The map is bound for terrible flow. From what I see, the spawns would be located inside of the halls, and the only way from one side of the map to the other is right through the middle. This would be a very linear game, and that's not what is fun about competitive maps. They have multiple paths to areas, not just one.

    It's going to be a camp fest.
